The saddest part of youtube. The mindless channels get all the subscribers and treats. Where as the informative channels have to work really hard to get by.
Thanks for the video you do great work and keep it up!
Quality over quantity ;)
The Hentai Man Agreed, but channels that regularly get more views I.E. CaseyNeistat, pew die pie, and Good Mythical Morning just to name a few... They are making enough money for their creators to focus solely on youtube videos for income.
Yeah. This channel is great, and actually the first I've subscribed to. I binge watch channels and still don't subscribe to them. Honestly I want this channel to do good though, so I finally clicked that button.
+Shadow Bat (Whovian Bat) and I am very grateful that you did!
John D Ruddy Well, you're welcome! :D
You forgot about the battle of schrute farms
I know, right. Everyone knows it was the bloodiest battle of the civil war. I can’t stand this historical inaccuracy!

Because our mind just tells ourselves "just do this am turn this in" and it's just a bland book and we've gotten more technology to make things such as documentaries and since we are SO used to entertainment like TV or Movies, we engage out brains to get more excited to watching a video about education rather than just reading a book that doesn't really make a good image in our minds while watching a video or tv special, it shows us a CLEAR picture of what happened, making it easier to understand
Bcuz it's on youtube
I’ll agree with that. I’ve learned way much more myself out of school than I ever did while I was going. That goes for most subjects to be honest. I love history and school really knows how to make it unbearable. Maybe the teachers/professors I’ve had weren’t really into it?
Because the purpose of school is not education but subjugation.
But this is still bullshit.

Mr.Ruddy fun fact about my family. My great uncle was Leroy Pope Walker the first secretary of war for the south and he himself issued the firing on fort sumpter so you can say my family started the civil war.

This is one of the best History Channels here. Love the amount of effort and dedication Manny man puts on these videos.
It's absolutely mind-blowing that all of this happened only 150 years ago. There is someone from Japan who's turning 117 soon. CRAZY!
Wow, that completely changes my perspective, just wow.
History repeats for those who don't learn it.
150 years, 150 million.... it's about getting right or doing it over.
And this video gets it WRONG.
Each state is a separate nation, by law and agreement.
@@SovereignStatesman uhhh no its not. Who cares about law tho right?
By this logic, it was the American A-bombs that made him live longer.
The USA is not a sovereign state, and never was.
Dauzq De: Not really; democracy was destroyed in that "war" which was actually an act of terror by a fictional pseudo-state; and which resulted in that Japanese person witnessing through Hiroshima; because the ruthless American oligarchs weren't exactly going to stop at Appomattox.
Don't know why, but the end of this video hit hard.
It spoke to a truth that we are all aware of here in the US, whether we admit it or not.
@@betos-08 Someone has been feeding you a shitload of lies and half truths, my dude.
And none of it changes the fact that the Civil War was started by the South when they thought that slavery was going to be abolished.
@@thelastholdout while slavery was definitely a large element of the war you miss the giant grey area that is all the other contributing factors, which in the video he mentioned.
@@isaacwebb6086 slavery was THE main factor for the Civil War happening. Everything else is of tertiary importance.
@@thelastholdout I agree. I was just stating the fact that even though it was absolutely heinous that doesn’t change the fact that the south’s infrastructure was based heavily on slavery. The north didn’t set up a plan to industrialize the south they just said “okay no more salves figure it out” the reconstruction of the south took years and painstaking years. It was only made worse by the fact that many of the working age men had died in the war.
It was recorded that lincolns cabinet doubted grants ability as he was a bit of an alcoholic. Lincoln responded by saying "well then give my other generals whatever he's drinking. Because he's doing quite well". Or something along those lines
The History Guy if the confederacy didn’t have stonewall and lee the war would have been over in like 3 months
I think that was a joke
Yea, they wanted Lee cus Kee was honorable. But I guess there is a good cus even a legend can be defeated when on the wrong side.
Roxas darkrath its not, President Lincoln actually said that, even my teacher said that he said that
Jackson ap hill longstreet and stuart is more like the army of virginia wouldn't have lasted long with out its corps commanders after jackson stuart and hill died the armies days were numbered
You located the Battle of Antietam over 50 miles from where it should be
I hope all of you remember Abraham Lincoln's most famous quote during the civil war.
"We protecc, we atacc, but most importantly, we give people their freedom bacc."
Truly some of the most inspiring words ever spoken.
Cringe as fuck
"captured" Atlanta. That's...one word for it
Lord Big Cookie I still have the paper my history teachers gave me a couple years ago. They say that Atlanta was destroyed by total war
@@btdpro752 REALITY: it was destroyed by DELIBERATE ORDERS AFTER THE CAPTURE.
When Hitler does something, it's the end of the world; when Lincoln does it, it's just "war is hell."
Hypocrisy is the only universal constant, it seems.
Yeah i would use "Raped"
The Southern forces burned the cotton warehouses and the fire spread to the rest of the city.
DO IT AGAIN UNCLE BILLY
Quote: "The Rebel Yell drove the Union forces back to Washington." WTF?
the early stages of the war, especially in VA....it is a metaphor as the army of northern VA and Confederate forces held their ground in places in northern VA. especially Fredericksburg.
though the rebel yell could have been used as a diversion for the forces the south had that were not even armed....the metaphor is more to show that the south fought back against the union well, especially considering that logistically, the south could not win this war. (ie, a blockade + limited supplies vs a fully industrialized nation.....the only really advantage the south had was more military academies and home advantage.....but even this alone isn't enough to win a war)
read into stonewall and Lee though, they were very dynamic generals that could win in losing situations...if you don't want to then that really is your loss for not looking into historical generals
Bleak House The confede charge battle cry was so terrifying that many union forces turned and ran out a fear.
I hate when people see this is
*America fights to keep slavery*
And not as
*America fights to end slavery*
Wasn’t anything about slavery though, it was about the south not wanting to become industrial, Abraham was losing the war so he used slaves to win.
I highly suggest you read Mississippi's declaration of secession
It’s neither both groups liked slavery to Abraham Lincoln ending slavery was a means to an end. And wanted to deport all the Africans by not letting them ever become citizens thankfully John Wilkesbooth killed him
@Charles Bullins the reason why the south seceeded is becaue they thought that lincoln was going to end slavery in the south completely. IRL he only wanted to stop it spreading though.
The declarations mentioned slavery 83 times. Tariffs - 0 times. And the federal government wasn't trying to abolish slavery. Saying "property" is the same as "states' rights". They're just euphemisms for slavery.
The 3/5's compromise always cracks me up. It's just so stupid.
Michael Henry my favorite part of that compromise is that slaves are referred to as people in the Constitution, even though the South attempted to maintain that they weren’t
the 5/5ths version would give slaveowners more representation, allowing it to spread west.
@@ThatGuy-te9wh Exactly the 3/5 was to not make slave owners too powerful right wingers forget the south didnt give slaves the right to vote.
Just to clear this up, the 3\5's compromise was put in place so that slaves in the south wouldn't count as a full citizen of those states so that the south would have less representation in congress. This was to give republicans more power over the south (all democrats) in congress. It wasn't about being racist it was about giving republicans a strategic advantage.
Franz Ferdinand Uh, just so ya know: when the 3/5 compromise was made there were no Republicans and Democrats. The 3/5 compromise was part of the Constitutional Convention that created this country. The Democrats were formed when Jefferson was president and the Republicans were formed in 1856.
South: let’s make some trade deals with France and Brita-
Union: *Hissing intensifies*

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." - Abraham Lincoln. Oversimplified indeed. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in only seceding states, but left loyal slave owning states alone to continue the practice as well as northern captured confederate states. The proclamation was in effort to thwart any potential countries in Europe from joining the confederate cause which would have turned the tide in a much different direction. There was nothing inherently good about slavery, but no one at the time actually cared to free them except for a small handful of people.
That being said, the freeing of the slaves was the right thing to do, but we shouldn't conflate that freedom with Abraham Lincoln "good will" in this way.
This line is always taken out of context. Your bias ignores literally all other evidence on the contrary. Lincoln, as president couldn't abolish slavery. It was protected in the constitution. The EP was a technical loop hole by executive order. Lincoln, although temporary, had set a precedent. the EP freed only salves in federal territory because that was all he could legally do. Congress would eventually need to legislate the abolition of slavery-as it eventually did. Lincoln was personally against slavery his entire life and was the whole catalyst for the Republican party from which he was elected. His duty, as the President was to preserve the union during the war. Please take at least 10 minutes to educate yourself before you go regurgitating this nonsense on the internet.
@@Sforschondetta this man is right. The original post is commonly taken out of context by revisionist historians sympathetic to the south.
@@Sforschondetta I'm genuinely curious, what is the context missing from the statement? Because just from the wording it sounds pretty damning. If you can explain to me this missing context, it would certainly change my view of Lincoln. However, given this statement, the (admittedly disputed) "Root, hog, or die" story, and the fact that he never did anything about Illinois's anti-black laws, it seem to me that 'Southern sympathisers' have Lincoln's character measured quite fairly.
Well said, thank you for your comment. Being Australian, I don’t learn much American history in school. Your info is valued - much appreciated.

great video, brought me to tears.
At the town of Shiloh, there is a pond that wounded troops crawled to to drink before they died, so many men died next to the pond that their blood flowed into the water turning the pond a deep red and it stayed that way for many months, to the point that the dirt and rocks under the water were stained red, so even now 150 years later, even though the water is clear and the blood is long since gone, the pond is still a harsh red color.
Can you do a video about the arab and african slave trade ? I have the feeling that it would be quite sobering for many people who still have many misconceptions about slavery (like that whites where the only race to ever practice slavery or that it weren't africans who sold their kinship to europeans).
I can allready imagine someone calling me a racist biggot for posting this comment.
0:37 Not entirely true. They were still mostly agricultural. They actually grew more food than the south.
Its true.
Your wrong
## the south mostly grew cash crops, and only enough food to support the workers. Since the north was industrial, farmers actually termed food to feed the favorite workers, leading the north to control 80% of the grain
Not per capita.

Great video, very well told
wow you are a hard worker and I hope you have the best of life
@John D Ruddy The GOP didn't leave the freed slaves because of big business (no idea where you got that info). They left because Reconstruction was legally grey at best then was finally determined to be unconstitutional and was forced to leave (there was also some political side dealing at the time that helped spur the removal of the Union troops.
I also wish you included at least one sentence to General George H. Thomas. He was a Virginian who was friends with Robert E. Lee and joined the Union. He defeated the entire Confederate army at Nashville and arguably helped save the war and Lincoln's election by salvaging the Atlanta campaign from Sherman's incompetence (Sherman is easily one of the worst officers of the Civil War).
Finally, someone else with a brain
The GOP didn’t leave the freed slaves during Reconstruction, the party left civil rights for African Americans in the early 20th century, when the parties swapped. One of the videos I found most interesting was Knowing Better’s Political Ships of Theseus. It talks about the party swap of the early half of the 20th century and shows how most politicians who were against civil rights switched to the Republican Party (most but not all).
As for Sherman being incompetent, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. I’ll do some research on it. I’ve been telling people how Sherman was a brutally efficient general for years, and I’d hate to be wrong about that.
@@rjhaney2614 Thanks for the video recommendation. I'll need to take a look at it. As for Sherman, he may have been brutally efficient, I can't really speak to that, but he did make some bad choices during Shiloh and during the Atlanta campaign that cost thousands of Union soldiers lives. He also had a nervous breakdown before Shiloh, and I believe he lost his son around the time of the Atlanta campaign. Regardless, he backstabbed Gen. Thomas on a few occasions (even though Thomas thought of them as the best of friends since they roomed together at West Point) and he was one to grandstand and seek glory as opposed to winning decisive battles. My opinion might be tainted since I'm a huge fan of General George H. Thomas, but I recommend you read up on him if you can.

He was a Confederate actor and he got pissed that slavery was gone so he killed the man that made it go.
I will say john you handle these topics with such elegance, good on you
I am an American, and a World History teacher. The American Civil War is so complex with family members often serving on both sides (brother vs brother). Most Confederate soldiers were NOT slave owners, and the idea of how the much the government should have control over what citizens should say or do was a big deal. Slavery was so important to the economics of the South, but was and is abhorrent. The South would not recover fully for a century and many relocated to the Industrial North or the new Western territories/states. Our country still struggles with how to process and evaluate something that had far reaching consequences, changes, and important lessons. (Not to mention the soldiers and civilians who died or were never the same afterward.) Thank you for your informational video and the many different aspects you shared of America's most tragic time in our country's short history. On a personal note, I love the accent while sharing U.S. history! We are a land of immigrants and the Irish played a big role in who were are today. :)
There's one massive error in this video. The civil rights movement was supported by the Republican party, not the Democrats. The democrats instituted the Jim Crowe laws, enforced segregation and fought hard against various equality bills such as the 13th and 15th amendments.
The whole Democrats are good, Republicans are bad idea only came about 20 years ago when the Democrats decided to try and change their image by laying claim to all the achievements of the Republican party, conveniently editing out the fact that the former Confederate states all voted strongly Democrat throughout the civil rights movement and only began to slowly lean Republican as popular racism started to die off.
Unfortunately my "Republican Party abandoned civil rights" line was a bit broad and thus painted the rest of the video as such. I've been trying to make it a little clearer in my Presidents of USA videos.
The political realignment happened when the Republicans employed the Southern Strategy during Nixon's campaign.
But what about now the Republicans changed
smh facepalm. You realize the parties switched right?
Ever heard of Barry Goldwater getting the South in the 1964 election, cause he was against the 1964 civil rights act?
Michael Carranza LMAO. There was no sudden switch. That has been discredited many times. If that was true then all of those racists democrats would of switched republican. You know how many did? 1 I'm not going to bother typing out the other reasons why there was no mythical switch, it would take too long and it's easy for one self to just search and find out for themselves why it's not true. I can't believe people still buy that bullshit. The Democratic Party is the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow. etc.. They still hold blacks on the plantation by making them dependent on welfare and government assistance because they are told they are victims. They won't tell them there truth that it's their culture and way of life keeping them down like having 70% of babies out of wedlock. The poverty rate for a 2 parent black family is 7%. The dem's won't tell them the truth because they need them relied on the government so they keep getting votes. The democrats have controlled the major cities since the 1960's and they haven't done anything for black people in the inner cities but make their situation worse. Blacks were more wealthy before the democrats took over their towns.
